Ramzi Aya (born 8 February 1990) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Serie C Group C club Casertana on loan from Avellino. He is of Tunisian descent. [2]
Born in Rome, capital of Lazio (and Italy), Aya started his career at "Roma Team Sport", a club which signed a partnership agreement with A.S. Roma. In 2005, he was selected to Lazio region U15 representative team, as a midfielder. [3] [4]
In 2006, he moved to ACF Fiorentina's Allievi U17 team, rejoining fellow Lazio representatives Federico Masi. [5] Aya was promoted to the reserve in 2007–08 season, which he only entered the play-offs round once in 2008. The team lost to Sampdoria in semi-finals.

[8] Aya was eligible to UEFA List B criteria since 2008 [9] (until a possible 2011–12 edition), thus he was included in the List B squad for Viola in 2008–09 [10] and 2009–10 UEFA Champions League. [11]
Aya played twice for the first team in post-season friendly in 2009 [12] and 2010. [13]
In June 2010 Aya left for Reggiana in co-ownership deal along with Samuele Bettoni, for €200,000 and €500 respectively. [14] [15] Co-currently, Marco Romizi and Lorenzo Morelli returned to La Viola for €200,000 and €150,000 respectively. [14] Thus, Fiorentina paid the Emilia minor club €149,500 in net before the end of 2009–10 financial year of Reggiana, as a de facto incentive to act as a farm for Viola.

In June 2011 Fiorentina bought back Viola youth product Niccolò Manfredini, (€215,000), Aya (€215,000), Samuele Bettoni (€500) and Maritato (€100,000) from Reggiana, co-currently sold Reggiana youth product Matteo Arati back to Reggio Emilia for €180,500. [16] [17] It made Reggiana received €350,000 in net before the end of 2010–11 season.
On 13 August Maritato was sold to Vicenza in co-ownership deal for a peppercorn fee of €500. Aya followed the footsteps of Maritato to leave Florence on 31 August 2011 also for €500 in co-ownership deal. [16] [18] The club failed to find a buyer for its youth product, which Aya forced to return to Reggiana. Fiorentina failed to sell Bettoni, N.Manfredini, and Edoardo Pazzagli who did not play any game in 2011–12 season.
In the second season with Reggiana, Aya made 30 starts in 2011–12 Lega Pro Prima Divisione.

Aya was capped twice for Italy national under-20 football team, coached by Francesco Rocca. He played once in 2008–09 season, against Germany in the last match of 2008–09 Four Nations.
